Subject: Please help! Delphi Study: Future of Social Network Analysis
Inspired by Steve Borgatti's session, 'What is network theory?' at the Sunbelt 2006, I am working on the manuscript titled 'Past, Present and Future of Network Theory: Network as a concept, paradigm, theory, or method?'
In January 2006, there was much debate whether network analysis is a theory or not in 'socnet', email listserv as well. As a part of my essay, I am doing a mini Delphi to have judgmental forecasts.
I would like ask your help on getting 'expert opinions' on the future of the SNA.
You can post your opinions here on the listserv but I invite you to my survey space to make 'opinions' anonymous. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=913473098403 <http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=913473098403>
I will share the results here at the listserv and probably at the Sunbelt as well.
Thank you for your help.
